If you say that the concubines in the harem are pitiful, they are not very pitiful.

At most, they are widowed and frugal, and at most, they are lonely and cold, which is much better than ordinary people who are not full.

Fumin struggled with his expression, and finally took out the imperial edict and explained: "I have never thought of letting the imperial edict see the light of day."

Ning Shu took the imperial edict and opened it and saw that Ao Tianze made Fumin the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager?

She is one senior higher than her empress dowager.

Ning Shu returned the imperial edict to Fumin, "It's just the title of the Empress Dowager, and the Ai family doesn't care."

"Empress Dowager Xie, I never thought of becoming the Empress Dowager." There is no difference between this. The Empress Dowager is just a name and cannot bring anything to Fumin.

And Ao Tianze is already dead.

"Is there anything else besides the imperial edict?" Ning Shu looked at Fumin and repeated: "Is there anything else?"

There was also a secret guard organization, but Fumin shook his head, "No more."

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

"The Ai family said directly that the late emperor had a secret guard, but the late emperor went and the secret guard disappeared. Do you know?" Ning Shu said lightly: "This institution is the institution that the imperial court controls the source of information. I know that the late emperor gave it to you, and I also ask you to give this institution to the emperor. As an emperor, you cannot be a deaf and blind man, you can't see anything or hear anything."

Fumin bit her lip and struggled with all her might. This was what the emperor gave her to protect her.

Ning Shu said again: "The Ai family has no malice to you, and they don't want you to sacrifice your life in vain. The Ai family can leave a few secret guards to protect you and know what you are worried about."

Fumin sighed, she didn't dare to fight with Ning Shu anymore, Ning Shu is now the regent.

Fumin took out a black jade pendant from his collar, "That's it."

Ning Shu took the jade pendant with Fumin's body temperature and smiled slightly, "Thank you, don't worry, the Ai family will protect you, and you don't have much grudge against the people in the harem, don't worry about what anyone will do to you?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." It can be said that the Empress Dowager has shaved all the things given to her by the Emperor.

Ning Shu put away the jade pendant, "Let the secret guards guarding outside the hall keep protecting you."

Fumin was surprised that the other party actually knew that there was a secret guard.

Fumin's feelings for Ning Shu are very deep and unfathomable.

It's a bit frightening.

Ning Shu got the secret guard organization and put the jade pendant in a box and locked it. When the little emperor wanted to take power, he would give this thing to the little emperor and he would be able to live his life in the future.

In short, it is always a good thing to have chips in your hands.

Concubine Xuan really didn't want to go to court anymore, so she told Ning Shu that her body could not stand it anymore and could not do it anymore.

Anyway, I just find a reason not to attend court.

Ning Shu didn't say anything, but these people saw others sitting high on the dragon throne, envious and jealous, and were unwilling to give up. They asked you to sit until you vomited.

The next day, Ning Shu got up in the middle of the night and then took the child to court.

Nowadays, children can sit and crawl, but because they go to court very early, they are basically sleeping, so they can only hold them all the time.

Concubine Xuan was not as strong as Ning Shu. She hugged the child like this for several days in a row, and it took more than an hour to hug her. Now Concubine Xuan’s arm is extremely sore.

"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do." The eunuch shouted.

It was Jushi Gu who stood up and said, "The Concubine, the Rong tribe has been harassing the border of the Great Zhou. The weather is getting colder. These Rong tribes will cross the border and enter the Great Zhou state to plunder."

"The troops stationed on the border now need military rations, but the national treasury is empty, so I can't take it seriously."

Ning Shu said with a expressionless face and asked, "Does this military ration require food or money?"

"Silver and soldiers' military pay are all for money." said Mr. Gu.

Ning Shu pulled the corner of her mouth and said lightly: "That's not short of food. If you really lack food, you should need food, not silver."

Among the leaders on the border, there are more or less corrupt people who embezzle and deduct military pay, and many soldiers ask for money from the court every day.

"And it's cold now, and soldiers also need cotton coats to keep warm, all of which require money." Mr. Li said.

Ning Shu said again, "Then have you come up with any countermeasures?"

"Military pay must be paid," said Prince Li, "The border troops stationed in the border are related to the border issues of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Oh, then let's post." Ning Shu's expression was very cold.

"But the treasury is empty." Prince Li said.

"It would be useful to tell the Ai family that the treasury is empty, and the Ai family cannot change money. The three regents are dealing with various things and nothing is solved. Then they throw the matter to the Ai family. What do you want? Let's just be the regent queen mother alone." Ning Shu said coldly.

"I am incompetent." The three regents knelt down, and all the court officials knelt down.

Ning Shu laughed in her heart, lowered her head and looked at Ao Yong who was sleeping soundly.

I don't know who the kid's father is.

I don’t know if there are one or several secret guards who come to Ao Tianze for his concubines?

Tsk!

Ning Shu ignored the minister kneeling below and opened his mind.

"I am incompetent, please forgive me for my crime." The ministers howled again.

Ning Shu nodded, "I'm sorry, get up."

"It is related to the safety of the border, I still dare to report that military pay should be allocated, otherwise the Rong people should go to the border to burn, kill and rob," said Prince Li.

Ning Shu just said, "It's still the border general who is incompetent."

If it were Ning Shu who used to be, she would dare to stretch her claws and chop her claws directly, which would make you afraid of being beaten.

However, the Rong people are nomadic peoples that do not work for production, especially in winter, where there is not enough food. If cattle and sheep die, it will be even more extermination.

Hunger and survival instincts will make these people anxious and hang their bodies. In order to fill their stomachs and survive, they can do anything.

Ning Shu just said, "It will be the first birthday of the emperor soon."

courtier:……

So, can the birthday of a yellow-mouthed child be compared with that of the border?

"The Empress Dowager..." Prince Li said helplessly.

Ning Shu said: "You all have to prepare generous gifts and bring out a birthday gift that satisfies the emperor."

Mr. Gu was so anxious that his face was sweating. The Empress Dowager was too unreliable. She was so drunk that she asked for a birthday gift for the emperor in the court.

If the border matters are not resolved, the only one who is unlucky is the people on the border.

"Empress Dowager, this matter cannot be delayed anymore. If it continues, it may cause a mutiny in the military camp." Mr. Gu said with his waist bent.

Mr. Gu was really anxious because he was a poor man and knew more about the hardships of the people.
